Women, Children Dumped in Well: ’ISIL’ Massacres 322 Sunni Al-Bu Nimr Tribesmen

Local Editor

The Iraqi government said Sunday that at least 322 members of the Al-Bu Nimr tribe were murdered by the "ISIL" terrorists over the past week, including dozens of women and children whose bodies were found dumped in a well.

Tribal leader Sheikh Naeem al-Ga'oud said that 75 members of his tribe were killed on Sunday while trying to escape the "ISIL". They were gunned down and dumped near the town of Haditha.
"The number of people killed by the "ISIL" from Al-Bu Nimr tribe is 322. The bodies of 50 women and children have also been discovered dumped in a well," the country's Human Rights Ministry said on Sunday.

The Al-Bu Nimr tribe is a Sunni clan that has been fighting the "ISIL". The tribe held "ISIL" off in western Anbar province for weeks, before running out of fuel and ammunition. After the clan withdrew, "ISIL" rounded up the members and has been executing them since the beginning of last week.

Al-Ga'oud added that "ISIL" fighters had killed 50 members of his tribe who were fleeing "ISIL" in Anbar province on Friday. They were on foot in a desert area of the province near Tharthar Lake when they were intercepted and killed by "ISIL".
Ga'oud said he had asked the Iraqi central government on numerous occasions to provide his tribe with arms and men - but received nothing.

In a separate incident, a security official from Anbar said that 35 bodies had been found in a mass grave.
The news comes after around 200 members of the Al-Bu Nimr tribe were slaughtered on Thursday.

More than 150 people from the Albu Nimr tribe were found in a mass grave near Ramadi in Anbar province on Thursday morning. "ISIL" militants took the men from their villages to Ramadi for the sole intention of executing them. Police and security officials said they discovered the grave on Thursday morning, and believe the bodies were shot on Wednesday evening.

In a separate case, the bodies of more than 70 Al-Bu Nimr men were found in a mass grave near the town of Hit, roughly 80 km northwest of the provincial capital of Ramadi, Reuters reported.
"Early this morning we found those corpses and we have been told by some "ISIL" militants that 'those people are from Sahwa, who fought your brothers the "ISIL", and this is the punishment for anybody fighting "ISIL",'" a witness of the event, who declined to state his name for fear of his own safety, told Reuters.

In another violent massacre, "ISIL" lined up 30 members of the tribe on Wednesday morning in the center of Hit, and shot them after parading them through town.

According to Sabah Karhout, the chairmen of Anbar provincial council, those killed were Sunni tribal fighters allied to the Iraqi government and members of the Iraqi security forces.

"These killings are taking place on a daily basis now in the areas under the control of the "ISIL" group and they will continue unless the terrorist group in stopped," Faleh al-Issawi, another council leader in Anbar said.
